Don't own them, just like to play with them :)

Chapter Twenty-Eight

BPOV

The party ended in the early hours of the morning, and I was glad when Emmett started chasing them home. Sometime during the night, he announced that we were going to be having a baby.

I still had mixed feelings about that, but he looked so happy, I couldn't take that away from him.

Now the mixed feelings, wasn't about having his baby. Oh no, I've gotten over that, it was that I wasn't sure how his friends would react to the news.

I didn't have to be worried, his friends were all happy for him, and spent the rest of the night being absolute morons, in the sweetest way, about it.

They made me laugh, and took my mind off of Jane.

Even though I felt the woman's gaze on me for the duration of the night more than once.

I ignored her, because honestly I wasn't about to break any nails on the bitch.

And I also didn't feel like dusting off my law books to get Alice and Rosalie off for murder.

Edward had disappeared sometime during the night, and I figured he had found someone who interested him.

I saw James talking to someone, who looked kind of familiar but I never got a chance to see his face.

Alice and Rosalie weren't too disappointed that Jasper and Jake hadn't been able to make it, we were doing a make up lunch sometime during the week.

They left almost before dawn, staying to help Emmett and James clean up.

I had been delegated to the couch, as though I was an invalid.

Of course I ignored them, I was pregnant, not dead.

"Do you ever listen?" Emmett said coming up behind me and startling me.

I rolled my eyes at him when I turned around, "It's a bag of plastic cups, not gonna kill me Em."

"You're not going to let that go are you?" he said with a frown.

I laughed and handed him the bag and went back to throwing cups into it, "I think it's cute that she has a pet name for you."

"Ha, ha, very funny," he said rolling his eyes at me.

"That was almost as good as mine," I told him with a grin. "So wanna tell me about Jane?"

"Not really," he said.

I rose a brow at him but decided to wait it out, the poor man looked as if he'd swallowed a porcupine.

Quite uncomfortable.

"She'soneofmywhores," he mumbled.

"What?" I asked.

He sighed and put down the bag, "She's someone from my past."

My brows rose, "Someone your father wouldn't approve of huh? Well at least you had the good sense to change that part of your past. You can do so much better."

I wasn't judging him.

He looked up at me, surprise on his face.

"What?" I asked smiling at him.

He returned the smile tentatively, "Nothing. So you had a good time?"

"I had a good time," I said, "Thank you for throwing two parties for me."

"You're welcome."

"Have you seen Edward?" I asked.

"He left earlier, said that he wasn't feeling well," he told me.

I frowned, Edward was fine all night, never said a word about even feeling ill, and he mentioned things like that.

He was a little stickler about things like that, always precise and planning ahead.

My own Sheldon Cooper, with a lot better social skills.

"I'm going to go check on him," I said emptying the cups into the bag.

Emmett nodded and I turned and bumped into James.

"Oh!" I cried reaching out my hand to steady myself. "You! We have to talk, I saw you last night with the hottie. I want deets when I get back."

He grinned, "Sure thang, honey chile," he said with a snap of his fingers.

I patted his shoulder and shook my head, "No babe, you're not the flamboyant gay, you're the debonaire gay. Stick to what you know."

I heard his laughter mingling with Emmett's husky chuckle, "She's right dude," he said and I smiled and continued on my way to find Edward.

"So you met someone," I said clearing off the counter.

James opted to sit and watch me, claiming as party coordinator he already did his share.

Fucktard.

"I met someone," he repeated with a grin.

"Name?"

He rolled his eyes, learnt that from Bella, "Al."

"Like Pacino?" I asked incredulously.

"Sheesh Emmett," he groaned, "When I introduce him to you, please don't say that."

"I'm getting an introduction?" I asked surprised.

"Well," he flushed, "if everything goes well, perhaps."

I nodded, "I can't believe Jane came."

"You are a fucking moron," James spat. "I told you that once was quite enough for that skank."

"I'm sorry?" I said with a shrug.

James uttered a few expletives, "Do you have any idea why she was here?"

"No clue," I said sitting dejectedly next to him at the counter.

"Perfect," he said throwing up his hands. "Well let's hope it was a one of stunt."

I nodded, silently agreeing with him.

After putting the last bag of garbage outside, Bella still hadn't returned so I figured she and Edward were caught up talking. I headed to my room and took a shower before passing out on the bed, without even putting on any clothes.

I found Edward.

Not in his room.

And definitely not sick.

He was sitting far across the meadow under the large tree, his head resting on his arms that were propped up by his knees.

"Hey," I said stepping under the eaves of the tree.

He nodded, acknowledging my presence, but not looking away from staring into the distance.

"Emmett told me you were sick," I said trying to coerce him into conversation.

"I'm fine," he stated dryly.

"Sure?" I asked.

He nodded, "I just wasn't in a party type mood."

Blatant lie. He was beyond ecstatic during the party planing period.

"Really Eddie? You're going to lie to me like that?" I said sitting down on the blanket he was sitting on.

Of course there would be a blanket, there was no way he was going to sit in the grass in that too-expensive pants he was wearing.

"I got hit on last night," he said softly.

I looked over at him, "Isn't that a good thing?"

Edward was not the monogamous type. Every other week he'd have a new boy-toy.

I believed that he just had an extremely big case of commitment phobia and it wasn't that he was a slut.

"I guess," he shrugged.

I frowned, that was not the response I was looking to get.

"Explain," I said leaning back against the tree. I was feeling pretty tired all of a sudden.

Guess the activities were catching up with me.

The doctor said I would start to feel fatigued more frequently, guess that's what was going on.

I waited for a few moments of silence, as Edward gathered his words.

Like I said, he was a stickler about those sort of things.

Everything had to be perfect.

"He was pretty cool and whatnot, but I wasn't feeling him," he said. "I was trying to get to know James better."

James? Emmett's James?

"James?" I asked.

"Yes, Emmett's friend," he said his ears turning red from embarrassment.

"You like him or something?" I asked.

"Or something..." Edward said, his voice trailing off.

Wow.

Edward had a crush.

This was a momentous occasion, I don't think that Edward ever had a crush.

He was always the heart-breaker in his, relationships, if you wanted to call them that.

"I didn't think he was your type," I said resting my head on his shoulder. He shifted under me, so that his body slid down an inch, making his shoulder more accessible to me.

"He wouldn't talk to me," he said.

Ah, James was a challenge.

"I've seen you two talking," I told him.

Edward scoffed, "That was party business. I mean outside of that, other than the common courtesies, he won't say a word to me."

This was priceless.

Edward Masen, the man-slut of the universe was crumbling because of one man who refused to give him speech.

If his face hadn't looked so forlorn, well more than usual, I would've laughed.

Instead I just shifted my body and wrapped his frame with my arm.

"I'll talk to you," I said with a yawn.

"I know you will," he said the corner of his lips tilting slightly.

"Come tuck me in," I told him with a bigger yawn.

He laughed then, and grabbed my hands, pulling us up in one swoop.

"Let's get the mama inside," he said with a grin.

I glared at him, "Shut up doofus."

We head back to the house making each other laugh, discussing some of Emmett's friends from last night.

As we got to the door, James walked out.

He stopped when he saw us, and I smiled at him.

"You heading home?" I asked.

"Yeah, was just going to grab some breakfast first," he replied.

"Oh that's great, I'm gonna be hungry in a bit so Edward can go with you and get something for us to eat," I said.

"Um..." Edward said from next to me, I turned and gave him a grin.

"What? I have to feed this baby, and after last night I'm too tired to cook," I said with what I hoped was a cute as pie pout.

James shook his head, "Let's go Edward, I don't want her to go all bestial on us. She might eat Emmett before we get back."

Edward flashed me a look of terror as James got in the car, I gave him a double thumbs-up and waved as he slid into James' car.

I watched them drive off before going into the house, all I wanted to see was the bath and my bed.

I started off in the direction of my bedroom when I passed Emmett's door, I should tell him I was going to bed.

That was only the polite thing to do right?

I pushed the door and froze, my entire body ceased functioning for a few seconds.

Emmett was lying face down on the bed, with a only a small towel wrapped around his waist.

My mouth went completely dry as I drank in the sight before me.

I licked my lips as my eyes devoured the contours of his muscular back, and the taut ass I could see outlining the towel.

I read somewhere that pregnant women were horny all the time.

I hadn't been with a man for a while, so that explained my sexual response to the work of art before me.

The pregnancy hormones just made it worse.

Yeah, that's what it was.

A/N: So I'm lying down and I get a notification for a review...and I saw it was my Tasha (KCLutz4475) demanding that I get up out of my bed and write. So...cause I'm scared of her, I did. Ta-da! :D And some of you ask so nicely for an update, how can I ever refuse? *smooches*

As if it's going to be a James/Alec pairing as opposed to a James/Edward one, we have to wait and see. They're kinda in control of that at the moment.

jessa76: I meant that stalker in the most loving way ok? *hugs*
